Halloween: Live Blogging!

It’s Halloween! So I’m sitting downstairs, listening to NPR, Hattie is licking my head, and now I am attempting to prove how uncool I by live blogging Halloween! While folks come to my door, I’ll document it here as it happens. Stay tuned!

6:01 pm After realizing that the motion light out front was not on after seeing folks pass the house by, the light has been turned on.

6:03 pm First trick-or-treater of the night! A trio of three young girls with no costumes. Took a few handfuls of treats.

6:16 pm Four more, a grim reaper, a packer fan, a witch, and a no-costume. Surprisingly, Ulric has not been as barky as I thought he would be.

6:49 pm Another trick or treat! A few toddlers dressed as a super monkey, giraffe, tigger.

7:00 pm Two ghouls, Ulric in full barky mode

7:13 pm Group of 5, two young toddlers and a few middle school age. Mostly skeleton costumes. Got a shout out from one of the trick or treaters for supplying Nerds as a candy.

7:14 pm Out back-yard neighbor came by as another Tigger!

7:21 pm Teenagers attack! Well, came for treats at least. Good thing is they actually made an attempt to dress up. Well, all but 2 of ’em.

7:22 pm Wife comments on the bad spelling and grammar on the live blogging. Fixed up a few bits.

7:24 pm A farmer girl! Complete with little stuffed pig and spider

7:33 pm ELVIS! Had an Elvis (with a mic!), dancer, two witches, and a toddler as a chicken

7.41 pm ninja & witch. Ninja did not attempt to kill me for the candy. Was kind of a disappointment. Would have got more bonus points if I couldn’t see him and he appeared in a puff of smoke ninja style. That too much to ask?

7.42 pm buzz lightyear, two other middle-schoolers, and an infant as a lion. The infant made me forget what the other two middle schoolers were dressed up as

7.43 pm A princess and a witch! Witches are pretty popular this year

7.44 pm Broadway’s best playing on the laptop to give some background. They’re playing the complete cast recording of Phantom of the Opera. Good stuff for Halloween.

7.46 pm A gypsy and a pirate. Pirate vs. Ninja battle is now even at 1-1

7.54 pm Witch, pirate, and a factory. Yeppers, a gal dressed up as a factory. Mega points for originality. Bonus points as their dog was dressed up like a ghost too. Pirates now up 2-1 vs Ninja. Well, ninja that I have seen. They are tricky folks.

8.17 pm Two little fairies

8.27 pm Probably the last group of the night, 5 cold trick or treaters. How did I know they were cold? They had coats on over their costumes. It looked like some orange was involved somewhere in the costume, but the coat hides all.

8.30 pm Last call has been sounded, that wraps it up for Halloween 2007! I am off to go get a wicked sugar high off the left overs. :-)
